Lin Weiwei sighed again: "It's really unbelievable unless you see it with your own eyes."
"Thank you, sister, now I know why the mountain chief is so enthusiastic about opening an academy. Women's status is low and their families are poor. Not to mention reading and literacy, they don't even have enough to eat."
Xie Mingxi was silent for a moment before saying: "We are in Shu, and we can always change everything slowly in the future. If not in three years, just five years, or ten or eight years."
This road is undoubtedly long.
However, as long as you keep going, the day will eventually come.
Lin Weiwei took a deep breath, nodded and said with a smile: "You are right. It has been more than twenty years since the Queen and the Mountain Chief opened the Lotus Pond Academy together. Ruth must keep on walking on the ground, and there is no need to rush."
Then, Lin Weiwei held Xie Mingxi's hand and said seriously and solemnly: "Sister Xie, I am willing to follow you and carry on the unfinished business of Shanzhang together."
Looking at Lin Weiwei's serious and solemn face, Xie Mingxi felt a little warm in her heart and nodded: "Okay!"
The two hands shook each other vigorously, smiled at each other, and then let go.
"It's a pity that Sister Yan hasn't come yet." Lin Wei smiled and said: "Otherwise, with her temperament, she would definitely rush to become a wife with us."
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Zhao Qi has come to Shu, and sister Yan can hardly stay in the capital anymore. She even sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that she is preparing to leave."
Lin Weiwei was overjoyed: "This is great! From now on, the three of us will be together and work together."
Xie Mingxi smiled casually and said: "The child is still young and the journey will not be fast. It will take sister Yan two months to reach Shu at least. We don't need to worry about her for now, just be our wife."
Lin Wei responded with a smile.
…
After this day, the two of them came to the academy every two days.
Lin Weiwei is outstanding in everything except archery. Not to mention Xie Mingxi. The two of them are the husbands of a group of girls, which seems to be overestimating their talents.
Fortunately, Lin Weiwei was in high spirits, and Xie Mingxi didn't think the girls were mediocre at all, and the two of them worked very hard as wives.
Gu Shanchang did not expect that the two of them would do such a good job as husbands. He couldn't help but smile and praise: "I was worried that you two would not adapt, but I didn't expect that you did much better than I imagined.
"
Xie Mingxi winked in a rare mischievous manner: "Master praises me so much, but the academy is short of money again?"
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Gu Shanchang was speechless for a moment, then cleared his throat and said: "There are now more than a hundred girls in the academy, and we provide lunch every day. In addition, I also plan to make two new clothes for each student.
The color and style are exactly the same, and the material doesn’t have to be too good, just ordinary cotton.”
Girls from reasonably well-off families have no shortage of clothes to wear, but less than half of them wear patched clothes.
Chief Gu Shan felt uncomfortable when he saw this. He thought of giving each student two pairs of clothes as uniforms for the academy. In this way, the self-esteem of the girls from poor families could be taken care of.
Xie Mingxi fully agreed with this idea: "Master, this is a very good idea. I will provide you with the money you need."
Gu Shanchang was not polite and said with a smile: "Princess Shu's private house is rich, who will pay if you don't give it!"
Love is the big spender is here!
Xie Mingxi responded sincerely: "Master's words make sense!"
Lin Weiwei and others burst into laughter.
After joking for a while, Gu Shanchang added: "The academy has just been opened, and the nursing home is also preparing to open. In the future, there will be many places that need money. It is not appropriate to always ask you to pay for it."
"I thought, it would be better to enclose the land and build some shops like the Lotus Pond Academy, and hire some young and capable women to do the work. The money earned would be reserved for the expenses of the academy. It would kill two birds with one stone."
The shop outside Lianchi Academy was very successful. Gu Shanchang tasted the benefits and wanted to copy it.
Xie Mingxi thought for a while and said: "Master's idea is indeed good. However, Shu is different from the capital. It is not easy for the people here to fill their bellies and afford new clothes. The students of Lianchi Academy are either rich or noble.
We are short of money. All the students accepted by Gu's Academy are from common people, so if we build a shop here, whose money will we make?"
This is true.
Gu Shanchang was a little annoyed: "I forgot this level."
When school ends every day, the girls mostly go home by themselves, and only a few come to greet them. Occasionally, there are a few who feel sorry for their daughters, but most of them come from mediocre families and live a tight life. There are many shops outside the academy.
, I’m afraid it’s useless.
Xie Mingxi saw the annoyance on Mr. Gu Shan's face and couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't worry about making money. I don't have other abilities, but I always have the ability to make money. Now we have to support Gu's academy and nursing home, and also
It’s absolutely effortless.”
"Master, just do what you want to do without worrying about making money."
Gu Shanchang gave a helpless smile: "To be honest, I have never worried about money in my life."
In the past, at Lianchi Academy, she was supported by Empress Yu's private money, so she never worried.
Now, we have to rely on the disciples...
Fortunately, Gu Shanchang has an open-minded nature and does not need anyone to explain. He quickly figured it out: "That's it! It's useless to think too much. It's better to rely on Princess Shu for support for the time being."
Xie Mingxi suppressed her laughter and responded seriously: "I am very happy to be able to relieve my master's worries."
…
After several classes, Xie Mingxi gradually became familiar with the students in the school.
Lu Da Niu, who had a few pockmarks on her face... is now called Lu Huiru. Lu Huiru looks a little ugly, but she is the boldest and has the most flexible mind. She has made rapid progress in reading and literacy, and she is the leader among all girls.
Next is the girl named Wang Wan. Wang Wan's original name was Wang Zhaodi. After Xie Mingxi gave her the name, Wang Wan immediately told her parents about the name change.
Wang Wan's parents were so flattered that they were so flattered that they could not and did not dare to care about it.
Wang Wan's qualifications are slightly lower than Lu Huiru's, but she is also among the top among girls. Wang Wan is also very perseverant in studying and is willing to work hard. In the first monthly exam, she and Lu Huiru tied for first place.
As a master, I will always favor students with outstanding academic performance.
Xie Mingxi is not exempt from vulgarity, and she is particularly partial to Lu Huiru and Wang Wan.
After Sheng Hong learned about this, he couldn't help sighing: "Masters are always partial."
Xie Mingxi glanced at him with a smile: "What's the matter with partiality? Who doesn't like smart and hard-working students? Who likes those students who are not smart and like to sleep on their stomachs as soon as class starts?"
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong looked defeated and raised his hands in surrender: "Master's words make sense!"
Xie Mingxi raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes bloomed with smiles.
